根據複述猜測詞義 雖然複述不如定義那樣嚴謹、詳細,但是提供的資訊足以使閱讀者猜出生詞詞義。複述部分可以適當詞、片語或是從屬句。 同位語Semantics, thestudy of the meaning of words, is necessary if you are tospeak and readintelligently. 此例逗號中片語意為"對詞意義進行研究的學科"。該片語與前面生詞semanties是同位關係,因此我們不難猜出semanties指"語義學"。 在複述中構成同位元關係的兩部分之間多用逗號連接,有時也使用破折號,冒號,分號,引號,和括弧等。 Capacitance, or the ability to store electric charge, isone of the most common characteristics of electronic circuits. 由同位語我們很快猜出生詞capacitance詞義---電容量。需要注意的是:同位語前還常有or,similarly, that is to say, in other words, namely, or other,say i. e.等副詞或片語出現。 從屬句Krabacber suffersfrom SAD, which is short for seasonal affective disorder,a syndromecharacterized by severe seasonal mood swings. 根據生詞SAD後面從屬句which is short forseasonal affective disorder和同位語a syndrome characterized by severe seasonal mood swings,我們可以推斷出SAD含義,即"季節性情緒紊亂症"。 根據舉例猜測詞義恰當的舉例能夠提供猜測生詞的重要線索,例如: The consequences of epochal events such as wars and greatscientific discoveries are not confined to a small geographical area as theywere inthe past. 句中"戰爭"和"重大科學發現"是生詞的實例,通過它們我們可以猜出epochal的大致詞義"重要的",這與其確切含義"劃時代的"十分接近。
